How tall is it really, and what ceiling height does it need?

It is 8 feet tall, so plan on a ceiling of at least 9 feet to fit a topper. Outdoors, check porch or overhang clearance.

Can it stay outside all season?

It is listed as suitable for outdoors, but PVC and light wiring still age faster in sun and rain. A covered spot is safer than full exposure.

Yes, it is pre-lit with multicolor lights, so no separate stringing is needed. Check the bulb count and spare bulbs in the box.

Expect to spend time fluffing and shaping PVC branches after the sections connect. Pre-lit trees usually take under an hour once shaped.

No. At 8 feet it dominates a small room. Look at 6 to 7 ft trees for standard ceilings.
